European foreword
This document (prEN 1463-3:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 226 “Road
equipment”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document has been prepared under a standardization request given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports basic work requirements of
Regulation (EU) Nr. 305/2011.
For relationship with Regulation (EU) 305/2011, see informative Annexe ZA, which is an integral part of
this document.
Introduction
The development of this document has been prompted by the appearance of road studs which contain an
active element which emits light instead of, or as well as, reflecting light from headlights.
1 Scope
This document specifies the initial and the retained performance requirements and laboratory test
methods for solar powered, hardwired and communicating active road studs intended for use as
permanent road marking materials.
In accordance with Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU, product characteristic electrical safety is
applicable only to those active road studs which are designed with voltage rating between 50 and 1 000 V
for alternating current and between 75 and 1 500 V for direct current. Voltage ratings refer to the voltage
of the electrical input or output, not to voltages that may appear inside the equipment.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 1463-1 and the following apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at http://www.iso.org/obp
3.1
active road stud
horizontal guiding device that is fixed to the surface of a road and emits light in order to warn, guide or
inform road users
Note 1 to entry: An active road stud provides a light output by itself, while a retroreflective road stud provides
retroreflected light when illuminated by the headlamps of a vehicle. Retroreflective road studs are covered by
EN 1463-1:2009.
Note 2 to entry: An active road stud can be fitted with a retroreflector so that it provides a light output both
directly and by retroreflection.
Note 3 to entry: An active road stud can be self-contained in the sense that it incorporates all light generation
means and does not rely on an external source of light or power. Light generation means include one or more light
sources, typically LED’s, and a power supply, typically a battery that is charged by a solar panel integrated in the
upper surface of the road stud.
Note 4 to entry: As opposed to a self-contained active road stud, an active road stud can also be hardwired in the
sense that it receives light through fibre optics or power through a wire. Means to feed light or power are not
considered in this document.
Note 5 to entry: An active road stud can have one or more luminous faces intended for emitting light in one or
more traffic directions.
Note 6 to entry: An active road stud can emit light that appears constant to the human eye or be flashing at a low
frequency. The emitted light can be any of the colours white, yellow/amber, red, green or blue.
Note 7 to entry: As with a retroreflective road stud, an active road stud can be fixed to a road surface by being
bonded to, entered within or embedded within the road surface. Additionally, an active road stud can be depressible
or non-depressible.
3.2
luminance expressed as light output (cd)
for the purpose of this document the term luminance expressed as light output (cd) is used to describe
luminous intensity measured in cd
3.3
chromaticity co-ordinates (x,y)
chromaticity coordinates of the colours are defined in accordance with the CIE 1931 Standard
Colorimetric 2° Observer as referenced in CIE 15
Note 1 to entry: For the purpose of this standard colours white, red, yellow/amber, orange, green and blue are
defined using chromaticity coordinates of corner points of chromaticity regions for emitted radiation as specified
in Table 1 and outlined in Figure 1.
